Method

StringgetText(Node n)
Returns the textual content directly held under this element as a string. 
String rtnVal = "";
NodeList nlist = n.getChildNodes();
Node currentNode;
for (int i = 0; i < nlist.getLength(); i++) {
    currentNode = nlist.item(i);
    if (currentNode.getNodeType() == Node.TEXT_NODE) {
        rtnVal = currentNode.getNodeValue();
return rtnVal;
StringgetText(Node n)
get Text 
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
for (Node ele = n.getFirstChild(); ele != null; ele = ele.getNextSibling()) {
    String name = ele.getNodeName();
    if (name.equalsIgnoreCase("#text"))
        sb.append(ele.getNodeValue());
return sb.toString().trim();
StringgetText(Node n)
Gets the text for a node by concatenating child TEXT elements. 
if (n == null)
    throw new IllegalArgumentException("Node argument cannot be null");
StringBuilder b = new StringBuilder();
NodeList nl = n.getChildNodes();
for (int i = 0; i < nl.getLength(); i++) {
    if (nl.item(i).getNodeType() == Node.TEXT_NODE)
        b.append(nl.item(i).getNodeValue());
    else if (nl.item(i).getNodeType() == Node.CDATA_SECTION_NODE)

StringgetText(Node nd)
Drop in replacement for Node.getTextContent(). 
short type = nd.getNodeType();
switch (type) {
case Node.DOCUMENT_NODE:

    return null;

for (int i = 0; i < numChildren; i++) {
    Node child = children.item(i);
    if (child.getNodeType() == Node.TEXT_NODE)
        return child.getNodeValue().trim();
return "";
...
StringgetText(Node node)
Returns text content of a given Node. 
NodeList nodes = node.getChildNodes();

if (len == 0) {
    return null;
StringBuilder text = new StringBuilder();
for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) {
    Node child = nodes.item(i);
...
StringgetText(Node node)
get Text 
StringBuffer result = new StringBuffer();
NodeList nodes = node.getChildNodes();
for (int i = 0; i < nodes.getLength(); i++) {
    Node node2 = nodes.item(i);
    if (node2.getNodeType() == Node.TEXT_NODE || node2.getNodeType() == Node.CDATA_SECTION_NODE) {
        String value = node2.getNodeValue();
        result.append(value);
return result.toString().trim();
StringgetText(Node node)
